George P. Bush is visiting the state Capitol Monday for a photo shoot and a meeting with an undisclosed party. A spokeswoman, however, said the visit does not indicate his intention to run for political office in Texas.

Rumors began swirling of George P. Bush’s intentions to run for statewide office when he filed paperwork with the Texas Ethics Commission in November, which was followed by a fundraising letter sent soon after by his father, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, that indicated his son would run for Texas Land Commissioner.

A day before the beginning of the 83rd Legislative Session, the nephew of former President George W. Bush was shielded from an interview on the steps of the Capitol by spokeswoman Nelda Carrizales, who said Bush was not answering questions Monday and that he hasn’t made any decision about running for office.
